Newcastle United boss Kevin Keegan will roll back the years here in Majorca by holding an open training session.
And just like the good old days, KK and his squad will have many fans taking in their training at the ONO Stadium tomorrow morning at 10.30am.
United will land at Palma Airport at 6.15pm and they will be greeted by the masses of Toon fans who are here to see the Mallorca Summer Cup.
Newcastle will switch training venues on Friday to Mallorca's Son Bibiloni training ground with a 10.30am start and will repeat the process on Saturday before a light session at noon on Sunday before their final game.
Numbers swelled again today amidst the hot temperatures as more fans arrived from Tyneside to cheer on their team.
With up to 8,000 black and whites expected to support Newcastle's bid to lift the trophy.
United will do battle with Hertha Berlin, Hannover 96 and hosts Real Mallorca and the mission is simply - who scores wins!
Yes, due to the tournament rules which hand teams a point for each goal scored in the competition, on top of three points for a win, the most prolific team will win the trophy.
With no Joey Barton in the squad but certainly a place for new boy Sebastien Bassong, United fans are also likely to get a glimpse of Jonas Guttierez for the first time.
And there were also doubts over whether Michael Owen would be in the squad.
United supporters chanted "We want Spiderman" at Doncaster and in his old stamping ground they will get that wish.
Due to the sensitivity of his transfer from the host club Real Mallorca there was always a question mark over his participation in the competition.
And he certainly won't play against Mallorca on Sunday.
But he will star against crack Bundesliga side Hertha Berlin on Friday night.
TOON SQUAD FOR MALLORCA: Given, Harper, Krul, Forster, Enrique, Beye, Cacapa, Taylor, Edgar, Tozer, Faye, Bassong, Guthrie, Duff, N'Zogbia, Milner, Geremi, Butt, Ameobi, Martins, Gutierrez, Smith.
